What are the best parts of officiating?
The best part, well the two best parts for me are the racers
and other officials I get to work with. Seriously though, the
racers make my job enjoyable and I also enjoy working
within a team of officials.
What are the toughest parts?
The crazy racers! Yeah, they make it tough sometimes.
A close second can be those pesky locals who don’t like
people on bikes.
What is your biggest officiating pet peeve?
An Interview with Scott Jones,
OBRA Official
Many of you know that OBRA racing would not be what it is
without the support of our officials. We took the time to ask
some questions from one of our very dedicated officials, Scott
Jones. Scott is a native Oregonian born in Portland and grew
up in Damascus. He currently works part time at Sam Barlow
High School as an AVID Tutor while also coaching basketball
and track. Scott races as a CAT 3 as well as officiating many of
the OBRA races in the calendar.
How long have you been
involved in bike racing?

Welcome to 2013
Thanks to all of you we had another great year in 2012. Membership was up but we faced some challenges. Races were hampered
by early season weather, races had been canceled, but through it all OBRA members raced close to an astonishing 51,000 times.
As organization we moved forward and upward.
I am confident that 2013 will be one of our best years ever. We have lost some races but we have gained new ones.
Watch for new and exciting events on the OBRA calendar.
With the help of all of you- our racers, officials, promoters, sponsors and volunteers
we will continue to be the best place on earth to race a bike.
Any memorable moments?
My first win as a bike racer is probably my most memorable
moment so far. I won the Silverton Criterium as a cat 4
racer. I went off the front about 5 or 6 laps into the race,
won all the primes, and the final sprint. The whole time I
was off the front I had a couple of teammates screaming
at me to go back to the pack and sit in. If you have raced
a criterium with me, you know that I usually take a flyer
sometime within the first few laps of a race just to get a
feel for the field I’m racing with.
What do you think about the OBRA community?
I love OBRA and think it is a great community to be
involved in. You can send an email out to the list serve
needing a referral, help, or advice and you can usually
expect to receive multiple replies within the hour. This
community is truly amazing!
How did you get involved with bike racing?
Do your best, invite your friends- and see you
out on the roads, trails, fields and track!

My first season of racing was
in 2000, so this year is 12 years
being an OBRA member. I
started officiating in 2007 after
moving home from Eugene. It
doesn’t seem like it has been
that long, but time flies when
you are having fun! I’m more of a
criterium specialist, but enjoy the
occasional flat road race. I’ve done
plenty of stage racing as well, but
I’m not much for big climbs, which
most stage races seem to have
plenty of.
I struggle with knowing how racers fail to learn how to
properly pin their numbers on for a race. This is especially
true for the more experienced racers. It makes it very
tough on officials trying to score a race when the numbers
are unreadable.
I got involved when my college track coach told us to buy a
bike for the summer training. I bought my first bike, a carbon
Trek 5200 in 1998. I rode a lot on my own, but in early 2000 I
was out on a ride one day and some crazy bike racer named
Rocky Serna came upon me suffering on the climb back up to
crown point from Multnomah Falls. He told me all about this
bike racing stuff in Oregon and that I should try it. I wasn’t keen
on the idea of it, but gave it a shot anyway. My first race was
PIR and like most cat 5’s who first start out, I got dropped early
and often. It took about 10 races before I could finish with the
group, but from then on I did well.

old boy, Owen.

Junior Cyclocross Racing continues to grow in Oregon

Cyclocross
I have just returned from the UCI World Cyclocross
Championships and now have a bit of time to reflect on
the amazing cross season that has just wrapped up. My
best estimate is that over 100 people from Oregon travelled
to Louisville to either race or spectate. We were extremely
well represented. Congrats to Sue Butler on her snazzy new
rainbow jersey.
OBRA and the state of Oregon continue to lead the way
when it comes to participation in the sport of cyclocross.
While the Cross Crusade held on to it’s mantle as the world
largest series, there were other series’ and stand alone events
that thrived in 2012. The Blind Date evening races had over
600 racers. The GPTB also continued to grow in popularity
and prestige this year. It’s not just a Portland thing either.
Races around the state from Medford to Bend to Hood River
are drawing big numbers.
For 2013, OBRA and the Cross Crusade have a few new things
in store. Including a possible West Coast Championship
Series and a three day point to point CX stage race. The
crusade also has some new amazing venues that we are
working trying to procure.
As a race promoter and OBRA board member, I am committed
to the continued growth and success of cross throughout
Oregon. We are an amazing community of people and feel
very comfortable that we will lead the way for the rest of the
country for a long time to come. Have fun this off season and
we’ll hook up again in September.

Just around the corner marks the start of 5 months of solid
off-road adventure across OBRA land. What makes OBRA so
strong are its riders and the ability to go on a road trip during
the early season for new adventure and new dirt then mix it
up locally for a weekday short track on the side.
So many events from lap courses to 50 and 100 mile events,
6 and 24 hrs of bumps/berms and singletrack waiting for
your new 29er, 27.5 or trusty 26er.
See you on the Dirt

Road
Oregon bicycle racing offers one of the most prestigious
communities in the nation through its dedicated athletes,
organized officiating and numerous racing opportunities.
Whether its weekend Road and Time Trials racing or midweek Criterium racing, there’s plenty of options to get out
and race your bike.
The 2013 OBRA Road Racing calendar has several new
additions and omissions. The inaugural Cherry Pie road race
that begins the road season is sadly missing from the calendar
this year and so is the tough and gritty Piece of Cake road
race. Many other newcomers have been added such as the
Heiser Farms Grand Island and Dirty Circles series in Portland.
We also see the long awaited return of the historic Ankeny
road race this year while other adored and favored races such
as the Banana Belt series shuffles from the cold and weather
stricken month of March to the warm and inviting month of
May. In 2012 the scenic Montinore road race was introduced
and this year returns with welcomed anticipation.
Over the years we’ve seen many changes in the sport of Road
Racing. Technology has begun to infuse the sport on a social
and community level more so than ever before. Now you
can record rides from your smart phone or GPS device, post
them to a social sharing website where you can then see how
you stack up against others on segments of the road where
riders are elevated to the status of Kings and Queens. Riders
can follow other riders tracking both their achievements and
training. This level of transparency and social awareness will
no doubt have a profound effect on the OBRA racing scene
now and into the future.

Alpenrose Velodrome
The Alpenrose Velodrome is one of the few tracks without a
lock and key. Riders are allowed to come ride the track any
day of the week as long it is not during an organized track
session. Monday through Friday evenings are reserved for
scheduled practice and race nights, the only other thing to
worry about are scheduled weekend events.
Track Hours & Training Sessions
The track is open during daylight hours, when it’s not raining,
and if there isn’t a race or session scheduled. If there’s a
training session, you can ride if you check in with the lead
person and you follow their direction.
Track
Track Location
The rental bikes are available for the classes (the cost is
included in the $10 fee).
Alpenrose Velodrome is one most exciting tracks in the United
States. Alpenrose is also one of the steepest velodromes in
the country. The steep banks make races on the velodrome
interesting to watch and just plain fun to ride.
For the classes you may also use your own track bike (fixed
gear) if it passes OBRA’s track bike requirements for mass
starts. Basically, that states the bike must be a fixed gear, have
drop bars with plugs and no brake levers.
Because Alpenrose track is not your typical 25 to 33 degree
banked track, at least one or two training sessions are
recommended before venturing out for a mass start race.
$10 for the class (rental is included). Please bring exact
change. Checks should be payable to “Portland Velodrome
Committee”.
The Alpenrose Velodrome offers Track Development Classes
and rental bikes. Riders are grouped in the class by ability and
skill level. Track Development Classes are primarily designed
for beginners and are not intended as training sessions.
Please arrive by 5:30 if you need a rental bike.
There’s no advanced sign up for classes, only day of. This
means, it’s first come first serve for the rental bikes and class.
The classes are limited to 30 riders and fill up occasionally so
come early and get your name on the sign-up/waiver sheet
to be one of the 30.
Sessions are scheduled by contacting Mike Murray,
503-661-5874, [email protected].
Bring your own water, helmet, pedals, and shoes. If you have
only sneakers, pedals with toe clips are available. Also, bring
warm clothes if it is cold - there will be time spent standing
around.
